Southern Heath Fritillary aberration

Hi Folks,
I believe this is a Southern Heath Fritillary (Melitaea helvetica - unless that's changed), seen in the south of France 2 days ago at 650 metres altitude.
At least it was flying in the vicinity of other Southern Heath Fritillaries.
Does anyone know if this aberration has a name?
Thanks,
Chris
